I don't know how the meade scopes work but I'm guessing you have an autoguider port on the mount? It is a bit like a phone connection (RJ12 plug and might be labeled ST4).

Some people make a connection from a self contained autoguider to this port (in this case the autoguider will have a similar RJ12 connection)
or from your PC via an interface device like the shoestring GPUSB. Your LPI would normally be pluged into the laptop USB port and you would use some guiding software like PHD to do the math and send siganls to the GPUSB.

Hope this helps?

Peter
